What does Boomer mean?
/ˈbumɚ/2 syllables

Boomer is an English word for something that makes a loud, resonant booming sound, built from the verb boom plus the agent suffix -er. It has long doubled as an informal, affectionate nickname for an energetic dog.

Boomer suits a pet with a big presence and an even bigger bark — loud, larger-than-life, and impossible to overlook.
